ah ah, the catholics done, government designs amid days of unrest over soaring fuel prices. it comes after a state of emergency was declared in some areas on tuesday in response to a series of public demonstrations. european countries are divided over and a new proposal to label nuclear and gas as green forms of energy with the new german government climbing the plan. as green washing under snow storms are grounding flights in america with staff shortages due to cove. it also being blame for travel chaos with coming to your life from moscow,

you're watching art international. my name's peter scott bringing you the latest world news. we start with our breaking using kazakhstan, where the government has 100 in its resignation to the central nation countries. presidents, it comes to mid days of protest against the government spots by a spike in fuel costs. the protests reach boiling point on tuesday with violent clashes between white police and scores of demonstrators. a smoke grenades were deployed and security vehicles blazed. the outgoing government announced a state of emergency in some areas, according to a statement. the outgoing government will continue to do his duties until a replacement is found. the

is not the 1st day. it's been going over some 3 days now since this price cap or liquefied petroleum gas was lifted by the government that cause fuel prices to saw . and as we've seen, people lined the street in their hundreds, it did start off in the cities in urbanized areas such as our marty, the largest city in catholic, stan and north fulton because the capital formerly known as asked and what it has also been felt in the west of the country, the places it out in a desert close to central asia, a place called the longest thou region. of course there was some backtrack by the government. they did say they were going to re impose a limit, but that's kind of done nothing to bring any sort of calm with the people they've taken. not taking this lying down, they've come out. they say in their hundreds to protest this. they've been torching police cars. they have tried to get in to the government buildings as well in our

marty president. so kind of has told those getting involved that they should not get caught up in these protests in this unrest. he said that attacking the military is illegal. and as we already heard, the government did back track a little when they took that price cap of they did re and impose some limits for it hasn't done anything to kind of quell that unrest. we can hear what president to kind of says in his address to the nation right now that i give you dear compatriots. i appeal to you to show prudence and not to come to provocations from the inside and outside to protest, euphoria and chaos. calls to attack the military and civilian offices are illegal. the government will not fall. now we've had media reports of over 100 arrests over the country in places like al marty that has been a state of emergency. and of course, in the reason of wrongest ours,

i just said there's also a few in our marty from 11 at night to 7 in the morning there has been things like transport has been curved so people won't be able to get out and get in to our massive cause for the foreseeable future. unsticking with the theme of energy. brussels is facing a backlash from major you nations. now it's after proposed, we categorizing nuclear natural gas as green energy. the new german government economy minister run to the proposal a form of green washing, softer energy prices in germany have risen dramatically over the last 3 months. shall davinsky takes up the story a new year and a new spat is brewing between new members. bickering has a rapid with state split over how energy from nuclear and gas susan should be

classed in the future. but you won't to categorize investments in some of these projects as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing label in nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong. this is a high risk technology. it is questionable whether these greenwashing will find acceptance on the financial market at all. that we think nuclear technology is dangerous. we still think the waste issue is resolved. we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power. under the commissions proposal investment, the new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that lead to accusations that the commission is he destroying the credibility of the european eco label for financial investments with germany leading the charge of nations against these proposals, but could put it in direct collision. of course,

with the blocks of the heavy weight that is france, 70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so convinced the president mac or nuclear is a way forward. he's in a 1000000000 euro investment. expanding the industry will go home, you know, in order to guarantee france his energy independence to ensure our country's electricity supply and to achieve our objectives, in particular carbon neutrality. in 2050. we will, for the 1st time in decades, relaunch the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continued to develop renewable energies on the house. the support from some eastern block nations with slovak is prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just called b without nuclear energy. but australia is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court if it moves ahead with them. will examine the present draft carefully and have already commissioned

a legal opinion on nuclear power in the taxonomy in these plans are implemented in this way. we will sue because atomic power is dangerous and not a solution in the fight against the climate crisis. meanwhile, germany is also coming under pressure over its anti nuclear stance from the czech republic. berlin has just all the clues of haul from germany's remaining nuclear power plants, as part of a plan to withdraw completely from the technology. prague describes that as being a radical step. our government will have to work patiently and hard look for allies in europe and convince partners. finally, it also has to move forward with the construction of nuclear units and to encourage investment in other reasonable renewable sources. that is the way out of the energy crisis. the alternative is under development and poverty, and nobody wants that. all of this comes as europe is in the midst of an energy

crisis, with some expert suggesting that crunch will last roy the way until 2023. that move by germany, including nuclear react is also could push up prices even further. and as prices in german neil was twice as high as they could be. there is an energy crisis that the price of the rising, rising cost means that the industry need more energy and that heating your home becomes expensive. we need cheap, stable energy to politician that run our country a lot focused on the interest of jim and industry and german customers. but that's the holo ideological agenda. and de paula to audiological agenda. the 1st thing they don't need get because they want to do everything with the nubile update . it's a kind of magic. they believe that they can do that again. as the 2nd ideological

agenda, they follow that there are hard core intro, rushing one solution to that coin. this could be the approval of the nord stream to pipeline that would supply us directly from russia to germany. however, we've tension tie you between the you and moscow. the green light for that project is far from so i've been leaving the e. u. scrambling to find the money to pay increasing energy bills, while members remain bitterly divided over the future of energy policy. charlotte, even sky r t. paris staying in the e. u. the 2nd section of the undersea pipeline, lincoln worship, germany has been filled with gus. not means the channel is not ready for exports, but use specific cation is taking longer than expected. a senior correspondent rod because d of looks all the force surrounding non stream to 2020. what was the year that the

great green dream that's a rude awakening. we all felt it in our bills, but no. where like europe, power gas prices are up for 500 percent in a year. this wasn't what your average green party propaganda booster promised. europe was supposed to go from a dirty oil burning wasteland to a green renewable paradise, just like that, which was never going to happen. this isn't hindsight, this was foresight 11 years ago when german business leaders laughed at the very idea. german society doesn't like nuclear energy and i don't want to comment on this, but i don't understand how you hit your homes. you don't want gas. you on developing nuclear energy. what are you going to do? burn firewood. you don't have even that you'd have to go to siberia to get firewood, drilling, jokes aside,

magnetic mines, knew that the transition to a carbon neutral society would, would take decades. and it wouldn't be easy. they built newer, clean power plants and new pipelines. natural gas would be a crucial part of the energy mix in europe for a long time. new projects like nurturing to a needed to ensure that europe's mon furniture is met to reach in on them eyeing the land this project, regardless of how you feel about the gas pipeline or a back, russia is legally approved and constitutionally approved, project must be implemented in germany and then and what's not stream to is not the projects of putin. rather, it is a projects where a lot of european companies take part that should serve to assure the gas security of europe nord stream to has been without a doubt, the most politicized energy project and recent history. they called it an opportunity, a try, a breakthrough, a catastrophe. everyone just had to have a say,

shirley is a captive over his positions. like to get rid of the colon kia, the nuclear. they get a so much of the oil. yes. from russia. i think it's something that nail has to look at. the other thing is neither nato know the us had much of a problem with the 1st pipeline which runs parallel to nord stream too, which right now supplies germany with gas, which is $5.00 to $7.00 times cheaper than market prices. i would anyone have a problem with that? well, aside from the competition, approval of additional liquefied natural gas exports from free port, ellen g furthers this administration's commitment to promoting american energy, american jobs, and the american economy. i am pleased that the department of energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u. s. freedom to be exported to the world. and is arguably the gist of it. they

threatened to sanction german companies, a nato ally, which didn't go down well in berlin. european energy policy is decided in europe not, and the usa. we fundamentally reject external interventions and sanctions with extra territorial effect. much has changed since the pipeline was completed. washington backed away from sanctions and a new government was elected in germany with energy prices at record levels. there were no rush to get gas flowing as things presently stand. this pipeline cannot be approved because it does not fulfill requirements of european energy legislation and questions of security are still open. signal seems like that one statement helps and natural gas prices 10 percent higher. and europe, which of course european families and households and businesses are going to have to pay, but at least the government saves face. and the meantime, let's join european leaders and bureaucrats and prayer,

and pray together that the energy prices somehow magic themselves back into the realm of affordability. america is buttoning down the hutches as a winter storm pummels parts of the country. it's causing chaos for flights with around 5000, cancelled over the weekend alone. and that's left hundreds of thousands of would be travellers unable to fly. the conditions also forced federal offices in the us capital to close on monday. that's is the latest forecast to predict in. okay, 8 inches of snow in the region with airlines haven't just been grounding flights over the inclement weather. the latest on the crown cove it outbreak has been having an impact as well. while back in october, southwest airlines cancelled almost 2000 flights. just days after pilots union sued the carrier over vaccine mandates. the biden seems been trying to reach

a cove id shot target of 2 thirds among american workers. a move this been resisted by senior government figures. the bind administration has to follow law, they have follow the constitution. they're implementers of the law. they can't just make it up. and in this case, they're forcing american workers to decide between their health and their job. and they just can't do it, it's just wrong. the u. s. has registered over 1000000 you covered cases in the past day alone. caleb more can take a closer look at how joe biden's efforts to tackle the pandemic a working out. many will remember joe biden's harsh words to donald trump during the presidential debate last year, and he won his response for that many dash should not remain as president of the united states of america. when those words were said, the cova death hall was around $220000.00. we'll since then, coven death numbers have risen to about 800000. the united states just set a record high for corona virus infections. remember,

when biden said that he would quickly and easily solve this problem? how's he doing? now back in may, joe biden set his goal to partially vaccinate 70 percent of the population by july . well, fast forward and that 70 percent has still not been vaccinated. what vaccine mandates have achieved is to further polarize the country. a large number of professionals in vital industries have lost their jobs. protests of shaking the country. ah, human reading to me, what we're doing here today and that is writing. yeah. ah, we with

a large number of medical workers have been suspended. is kind of surreal, honestly, because i love my job, and i have been a coven nurse for since the beginning of the pandemic. i've been a nurse for 10 years. i work for kaiser for 5, and when the pandemic happened we, we were scared in the beginning, like everybody by it is this amazing time to where we have really is people i work with amazing doctors and nurses to set up to work every day. and just rolled up their sleeves and faced their fears and walked into these rooms. not knowing if they were going to get cove it or bring it home to their families. more than 2000 flights. got canceled by american airlines due to a pilot shortage line for us. meant has also been hit by reductions. it's not the

issue that the public wanted or the, the politicians said they're going to deliver. they'd want this black and white issue. it's a gray area between you're going to have this big gap between qualified police officers who are trained your season new cops coming in the, the quality of new cops coming in is going to be held to a lower standard. so you're not going to get the best candidates. so do a patrol your streets and keep you safe. it's going to be a very organic living, breathing problem that has nas no solution in sight with so many things going wrong, jo biden's approval ratings are now in free fall. the japs haven't slowed down either. in fact, more people have died of coverage so far in 2021. then in 2020. so this year biden's 2 main plans. rebuild the people's trust and better fight coven have failed to come. true, kayla martin. r. t. new york. and now just a quick reminder that package the w h o under the mainstream medical bodies say that the vaccination is the best way to stay safe. ah,

now it's been a happy new year so far. the embattled former governor new york. undo cuomo, 2 charges against him had been dropped, those of covering up covey desk in north nursing homes and inappropriately groping an aide. the announcement from the manhattan district attorney's office, sports outrage. the new manhattan da as excusing our former corrupt governor of several charges. he was facing regarding nursing homes and sexual assault. there are still investigations underway with f, b i. d o j eastern district and act. but there's no doubt they're making deals with the devil. today's news that the manhattan doll won't press charges against disgraced former governor cuomo over his coven nursing home scandal is yet another politically motivated decision by left wing prosecutors. cuomo has blood on his hands, his victims and their families deserve justice. who should understand?

not only to cuomo, send in 9000 coven positive patients in with the most vulnerable what he covered his crimes. ah, and then he also by public data. so there are multiple crimes. i don't understand why they refused to prosecute. my thought he was in a nursing home for rehabilitation after next surgery, so he had all his mental faculties. he was scared, he called me up on the phone and he said if you don't get me out of here, i'm going to die because he heard ambulance is coming and going people coughing and he described chaos and commotion. so he was very scared, who knew something was wrong, and we did everything we possibly could to get him out. but it was too late. he already killed him to contact with cove. it the whole unit came into contact with coven. they're all over 70 deaths in his unit. a long while in office under coloma was accused of letting people inter combs without testing during the early

stages of upon demik. he's also been accused of under counting tear home cove. it does by 50 percent, with chrome or himself has consistently denied wrong doing but who hears 3328 died in the hospital, died in a nursing home. they died the obligations on the nursing home to say, i can't take a coven positive person. i'm too crowded, i'm too busy. i don't have enough p p. whatever the answer is, doesn't really matter. is if they say i can't take the person, they can't take the person when we didn't provide information. it allowed press people, cynics, politicians, to fill the void. i just want to be sure people know. these are the facts. these are the facts. and everything that could have been done was done. and shame on us for believing that the justice system would actually work for us. instead of

helping cuomo cover up his crimes. listen, well, no, intentionally ordered a deadly virus into elderly homes and that created covey. death chambers all around the state for our loved ones. now love ones had no chance. there is one man to blame. and that man is andrew cuomo. i mean, what kind of society or me, when over 50000 people in die horrible agonizing deaths alone. my father died alone and there's no semblance of accountability. cuomo, resigned in august after a decade in office and made public pressure over harassment allegations. and as we just mentioned, he was charged with inappropriately groping an assistant bought, a district attorney concluded that although the accuser is credible, there was not enough evidence to bring the case to court. while earlier we spoke with lionel a media and legal analyst who reflected on the ex governor's handling of the crisis

and what the future holds for him. done finished toast. there was another issue during the course of this when he was absolutely the will be. he was basically abandoning his position. he writes a book on leadership about how he handled this coven nightmare. during this crisis, it would be manifestly unfair, manifestly incorrect to hold him to, to pay to painstaking levels of accuracy when the entire world was falling apart by virtue of this pandemic, he would allege that in retrospect, yes, this was incorrect. it's, it's not, at least at this point tangible enough direct enough. there's not enough of a approximate cause for him to be held liable. but there is also civil ramifications. and there were people expert who will come forward and say,

the last thing that you do. no matter what is to take people who are covered positive and to put them into these basically these, these homes of the most are vulnerable with co morbidities in age. i mean, if that's not criminal negligence, nothing is so is going to be a battle of the, of the lawyers. ah, the coven infection rates in the u. k. as it's an all time record with 220000 new cases in the past 24 hours alone, it's expats, it's a pile further pressure on what's been described as an overloaded health care system. since the arrival of the army con, variance covey related hospital admissions have risen 50 percent, and medical unions have called it a national emergency. although the british prime ministers resistor calls for further restrictions which has received considerable public support on the chrome

is milder than previous variance. so while hospital admissions are rising quickly, with over 15000 co patients now hospital in england alone, this is not yet thankfully translating into the same numbers needing intensive care that we saw in previous waves. we have a chance to write out this on the chrome wave without shutting down our country. once again, the added burden of hospitals in u. k comes amid severe staff shortages. the british medical association has wandered throughout the coming year. one in 6 doctors and nurses are likely to be out of action due to cov it, and unions of cold on the government to urgently res, salaries, or face industrial action. now, the national health service says the pandemic has created unprecedented pressure. and in its doing all it can to support doctors and nurses. we spoke with senior and a chest consultant psychiatry, dr. jay's bum ram. and he says, medics remain under

a huge strain. the chess front line workers are the front line rotors i should say, have put in a huge shift to be a shift of looking after patients, many of whom are very the very ill. it's very, sourcing mental stuff. if you need any effect to cope with themselves, many of them have been effective because good friends, relatives, colleagues, died from clover those days, a huge amount of stress and anxiety within the system. i think the prime minister on charlie says that everything needs to implies that everything is ready and ready to return to normal. and i would say, well known docs. yes, those be the white rice in infections around december going into january. we have. busy record number of admissions in hospital, and we will not enter that he's vaccinated. so 60 percent of your patients are at

the moment on fax, in a to 90 percent. haven't had to step well, that's it. you're buying up today with the latest from around the world. i'll be back again with a run down of the headlines in just over 30 minutes. ah . when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't rule out the same because the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. oh, often it oh,

even susie children have been kid for at the finance house for a vow or chick mom much mom with when i should is good. i see many goals. michelle, in the middle, the issue a new violin mom on is violet. the mom of yes, my son is with me. okay. allow me a moment. you will. i will let me. i mean it's not i use the challenge is going you know, some young and the discussion on other shows. i can learn demon, feel,

feel i i we would not be controlled by christ. while this sounds like the right thing for a politician like the new mayor of new york to say in their 1st speech, the reality is for the last 2 years, american life has been controlled by crisis. and it's obvious, we are not happy with how things are going and backed the events of the past year. all come to the same conclusion. americans are beyond not being happy. in fact, they're downright angry. i'm sky now hughes, and i'm my 1st show of the new year. i'm going to look at the angry american and what is happening or not happening to drive their anger. now we're going to discuss

the continue to confusion around the corona virus and why america is seeing the highest numbers of positive cases all today, we're going to look at the surge of us workers rising up against working restrictions. and nothing actually makes people more angry than more of their hard earned dollars. going to the government, a government which just in the last 24 hours has reminded americans, especially those here on the east coast, just how badly they do their job when they are needed the most. ah, welcome to a new year where unfortunately, the plagues of years past did not dissolve at the stroke of midnight. not saying americans are known for being the kindest people in the world, but at least.
